THE SPIRITUALIST MOVEMENT

Spiritualism first appeared in the 1840s in the “Burned-over District” of upstate New York, where earlier religious movements such as Millerism and Mormonism had emerged during the Second Great Awakening. On March 31, 1848, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit. Amy and Isaac Post, Hicksite Quakers from Rochester, New York, took the two girls into their home in the late spring of 1848. Immediately convinced of the veracity of the sisters’ communications, they became early converts and introduced the young mediums to their circle of radical Quaker friends as more followed in the footsteps of the Fox sisters. The most popular trance lecturer was Cora L. V. Scott. Young and beautiful, her appearance on stage fascinated audiences, who were struck by the contrast between her physical girlishness and the eloquence with which she spoke of spiritual matters, and found in that contrast support for the notion that spirits were speaking through her. Despite numerous instances of chicanery, the appeal of spiritualism was strong. Prominent in the ranks of its adherents were those grieving the death of a loved one. One well known case is that of Mary Todd Lincoln who, grieving the loss of her son, organized séances in the White House. The surge of spiritualism during this time was a direct response to grief, especially those who had lost loved ones in the American Civil War. X

Love the contrast of colors on this French #palmistry pamphlet from 1902, and the evocative imagery of the witch conjuring the lined hand of #chiromancy from the flames of her Delphic tripod’s sacrificial bowl. Personally, I’d take her advice.
